Gentlemen:
Reply To: Department
of Public Works
October 8, 1974
There will be an ordinance presented for first reading on October 14,
1974, which will appropriate the sum of $53,000 from the Sewage Works
Improvement Fund. These funds will be used for the purchase of a
Vactor -type sewer cleaning machine with a high pressure water cleaning
system. (I say Vactor -type machine because bids will be taken.)
Through the addition of this equipment, Mr. Peck feels that he will
be able to clean more feet of sewer per year than is presently
possible utilizing his sewer drag machines. Mr. Peck has proven this
ability through the utilization of his present Vactor. This additional
machine will increase his efficiency to a greater extent.
As we discussed during the Caucus meeting, we would plan that you cut
this item from the proposed 1975 Bureau of Sanitation Budget in lieu
of this proposed ordinance.
If there are further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,
'- ,
Michael L. Vance
Fiscal Officer
